Proton therapy for advanced cervical cancer
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a precise type of radiation called proton therapy can work well for cervical cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. It aims to see if this treatment can shrink tumors with fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cervical cancer that can be treated with the goal of cure using radiation (with or without chemo).
- A biopsy shows your cancer is squamous cell, adenocarcinoma, or adenosquamous cell type.
- Your cancer is at a certain stage (IIIC1 with 3 or more pelvic lymph nodes, IIIC2, or IVB but only if involved nodes are above the pelvic area and below L1-L2).
- You haven't had radiation to your pelvis or belly before.
- You haven't had chemotherapy before starting this trial.
- You are 18 or older and able to understand Danish or Swedish.

This trial tests a type of advanced radiation called proton therapy that targets a larger area of the pelvis and abdomen for cervical cancer. It may be an option if your cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes and you haven't had radiation before.
This trial compares two types of radiation (standard photon vs. newer proton) for people with newly diagnosed endometrial or cervical cancer. It aims to see if proton therapy reduces side effects while controlling the cancer just as well.
This trial studies whether proton beam radiation after surgery can better treat certain uterine (endometrial) or cervix (cervical) cancers. It may help by targeting the pelvic area while limiting radiation to nearby organs.
This trial tests a type of radiation that adapts to your body changes during treatment for cervical cancer. It aims to improve accuracy and reduce side effects.
This study tests whether adding immunotherapy to chemotherapy, then giving chemotherapy together with radiation, works better for advanced cervical cancer. It aims to improve cancer control and help people live longer, without major safety issues.
This trial tests proton radiation to treat cancer that has spread into the thin lining around the brain and/or spinal cord (leptomeningeal metastasis). It may help control disease in that area while aiming to better protect surrounding healthy tissue.
